The holiday season always pops up earlier than expected, which means last minute gifting becomes a reality. Hollywood Life knows this all too well and published “20 Bottles, Wines & Accessories That Are Perfect for Last-Minute Holiday Gifts” to help shoppers in a time crunch. Wine is a category that we know always comes in handy, but the trick is selecting the right option that feels “gift-worthy.” For this reason, the writer has included Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée as an impressive bottle to gift, adding that the wine “has a rich, Pinot Noir-forward profile and is the result of delicate blending between harvest grapes and a majority of reserve wines, including some aged in magnums for more than 15 years in Bollinger’s cellars.” You can read the whole list of recommendations here

Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
